William Seger - Epic Fail

32. Ding ding ding!

Very good Seger!

The three types of loads are air(flight), ground and water....

They are further defined, wait for it......



Yep...you guessed it... under Part 25. Very good Seger!

So, what does it say under Flight Loads?

§25.321 General.

(a) Flight load factors represent the ratio of the aerodynamic force component (acting normal to the assumed longitudinal axis of the airplane) to the weight of the airplane. A positive load factor is one in which the aerodynamic force acts upward with respect to the airplane.

Do you know what "upwards" means, Seger?

I'll give you a hint, it is NOT the force acting on the nose of the airplane from speed.


Seger, airspeed limitations set by the manufacturer are not just structural, they are also for control. Loss of control can (and has) lead to structural failure.

There is no margin of safety past Vd for an aircraft which is experiencing changes in static and dynamic pressure. Which is why you cannot quote one. The margin of safety is between Vmo and Vd based on wind tunnel and flight testing.

You lose --again-- Seger...
